Warning:
1. I am somewhat afraid of people. Especially strangers and people who hide behind corners and jump on me.
2. I am always convinced that I'm doing something wrong. That I'm breaking some rule or committing some faux pas and that any minute someone is going to jump out from behind some corner (see 1) to yell at me.
3. Because of 1 and 2, I will probably never reciprocate favorites and comments. I think really nice things about the people who comment on and favorite my work but I don't tell them. I understand people typically give comments and favs to get them... Sorry.
4. I am the laziest person you will ever encounter.
5. I like ellipsis.
6. I don't like journals or writing or English. I also have no idea what I'm doing with any of those things so... random stuff now.

Me:
I'm a really young 17-year-old. I have two parents (boring) and two younger sisters (16 and 12, both about a bazillion times talented) and a labradoodle and snake. Also, there is a cat.
I go to high school and then I go home. I do little but read in both places. Sometimes I am happy and have many ideas and sometimes I am tired and do nothing.

School:
I take AP Statistics and Calculus because I am crazy. Calculus is fun and Statistics is nerve wracking. I take AP Environmental Science but always miss the field trips. I study for the exams in the car on the way to school the day of the test. I spend more time doing homework for AP 2D design than I do for all my other classes combined, not because I like the class but because it would be embarrassing to fail. I'm currently failing anyway. I have two back-to-back office aide periods in the middle of the day but no car... or drivers license. I hate English, which is bad because it's the last credit I need to graduate.

Next year:
I have yet to apply to college and don't really want to. I think I'm going to take a year off to farm sheep in Australia. Or work on a fishing boat in Alaska. Or volunteer on an archaeological dig in Europe. Or something.

Art:
Last semester I did ten things for AP2D and no things for myself (breadth section of the portfolio I'm not going to submit). This semester I have to do twelve related things in the same medium (concentration section of the portfolio I'm not going to submit). My medium of choice is photoshop and thus far I have finished two pieces and the sketch for the third.

Last semester: (all projects assigned by teacher)
1. Draw your shoe at three angles line art - ink
2. Negative space still life - ink
3. Thumbprint portrait of my littlest sister - ink
4. Black and white self portrait collage - photoshop
5. Color collage of my dog - photoshop
6. Abstract shapes still life - charcoal
7. Pasta still life - charcoal
8. Shirt still life - charcoal
9. Three stages of the destruction of a pumpkin - chalk pastel
10. Smaug from "The Hobbit" linoleum print (like a stamp)

This semester:
1. The very cliche purple dragonfly
2. The dragon thingy that I like to pretend is less cliche
3. A complete redo of that "purple bubbles" thing I did years ago that causes me great confusion by getting more favorites and comments than any of my other pieces despite being terrible. I think it's just because it's purple.


What do people use this thing for, anyway?
I think I'm allergic to deviantart.
